Mid Year Book Freak Out & Top Reads 2018

Well, hello there! Can you believe it’s July already? I set my reading goal at 60 and have read 32 so far, which puts me at 2 ahead of schedule. Not bad. I usually do a post to share my mid-year top reads, but then I saw Rowena’s Mid-Year Book Freak Out post and decided to mix it up. So I’m doing that and my top five reads so far this year. As usual, I’m only including books that were published in 2018. The links will go to my reviews if there is one.

Best book you’ve read

This was an easy choice. I loved Starry Eyes to pieces! Jenn has easily made my list three years in a row. ♥

Best sequel you’ve read

I’ve read quite a few books that are part of a series & series finales, but only two that are technically sequels. Hideawayis definitely the winner.

Oh fun! I did this one, too, though I’m not sure when Shari will be posting it. I think I picked Iron and Magic for the same answer. Oh, you remind me, I still need to read Starry Eyes! Loved it, Christy!

Looks like you have had a pretty good year with your books. I am curious about The Kiss Quotient as I have heard really good things about it. I am also curious about Lifelike but not sure if it’s to syfy for me also heard it has a heck of a cliffy at the end! 🙂

I need to read the Eliza Gordon and I have the new Ilona Andrews waiting on my Kindle as well. I am so behind. I also have Lifelike audiobook checked out from the library. Too many good books so little time these days. Summer is so crazy busy.

YOU MUST READ IRON AND MAGIC NOW!!!! O.O !!!!! I love this post! I might endeavor to try it O.O And holy crap, Diamond has a cover finally! Beautiful!! And yes, Lemon Fresh… where will Jay take us next?

I read Iron and Magic last week and love it! Magic Triumphs is beyond amazing. I can’t wait to see what you think of the new and upcoming Ilona Andrews books. I really need to get to The Kiss Quotient. I have a copy sitting on my bookshelf and everyone seems to love it!

Yes to so many of these too Christy! I also have the new Andrews book waiting on my kindle. It’s been crazy here and I’ve been waiting for the right time to start it, soon! I can’t wait to get more Hugh.

You have some great books on here! I love, love, loved Starry Eyes (Jenn Bennett is my JAM), The Kiss Quotient, and Words in Deep Blue (hope you get to read this one soon)! They’ve been three of my favorite books this year. <3

I also really enjoyed Ilona Andrews' Hidden Legacy series, so I'm excited to read what else she has out (especially the new Iron and Magic). You really channeled my brainwaves for this post. 😉

Awesome book collection. There have many interesting book to read. There have lot of book .What ever i like to read book and writing book. There you share countries book and some love history. I am so love that to read. There some interesting think .Thanks for sharing your great information.

Lemon Fresh was spectacular wasn’t she! I absolutely loved her and I’m hoping we see alternating points of view from her in the sequel. Jenn Bennett can honestly do no wrong! I’ve actually just purchased her Spirits adult series to see me through until her next young adult release. I think this is what it might mean to be a fangirl. Words in Deep Blue is such a lovely read. Cath Crowley’s writing is a lot like Jenn Bennett too, lots of snark and banter with big hearts. Can’t wait to see what you think of it Christy! ♡♡♡
